Predict the Colts first FA Signing

[danlhart87]

Anthony Hitchens LB

Post contract details if you want

[Caleb3502]

I think it will be Anthony Hitchens as well.  Probably something like 4 Years/$26 million.  

[richard pallo]

Okay I'll take a swing.  Moe Wilkerson.  I'm reading reports he could be released any day now.  He has big issues with the Jets but a change of scenery to the midwest could just be what he needs.  The chances of Lawrence or Ansah making it to FA are pretty slim but here is a 28yr. old pro bowler who needs a fresh start who would fill the bill nicely.  It wouldn't surprise me if Ballard is doing his research right now.  Come on Chris.  You know how to construct a deal.

[BProland85]

I'd probably say Hitchens too, with OG Zach Fulton from KC as a close 2nd. 

[lance_m8]

In house: Vinny 2yr/4mil

FA: Norwell

What he said.

I will try and be different lol

 

Ziggy Ansah- 4 years- 35 Mill

I'd sign him up for a deal like that anyday. If we would have to overpay him something around 10 mil or more per year I'd pass. 

 

Then Ballard could focus on adding someone like Quenton Nelson in the 1st after a trade down, and then adding a talented RB to go along with Mack and more help at LB, CB, and RT.

Good luck getting him for that contract.  The Lions would probably happily re-sign him for that low number.

[Indeee]

Outside of re-signing current Colts, my guess would be Cameron Fleming

I like your thought process. I too think it will be someone that is released. So I will go with Randall Cobb (unless Robert Quinn is cut).

More like realistic one.  If we are being hopeful ok.  I hope to get Norwell for 4 years and 35 million as well.

Don't let that hurt your feelers little buddy.  Sometimes forums have people disagree with you.

I could really get on that Robert Quinn train.

[El Potro]

Realistically I'd go with Hitchens. 

Ideally It'd be Norwell. 

 

[MPStack]

Kirk Cousins

[Clem-Dog]

What about a boy named Suh, after he's released?  I wouldn't mind especially if his next contract ends up being good value.  

 

If Ballard is sold on Norwell then he should be our top priority.

An Elementary PE teacher?    Good for you!    I didn't know that even existed?!

 

It was a LONG time ago, but I didn't have my first PE teacher until Middle School, grades 7-9.   Times have changed...

The only things I remember about kindergarten in the early 60's is......

 

-- Playing in the sandbox.. 

-- Playing on the jungle gym..

-- Taking a nap after graham crackers and milk..

 

Speaking of sleeping.......

Yes I teach K-6th....challenging at tines...but what a joy it is to see a kid improve and learn how to do sports. I teach them basketball, soccer, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, floor hockey, and mix in a smattering of games and some fitness....I just hope each one finds something active they may play for the rest of their lives

Great!   Couldn't be happier!    So glad you're doing it and thank you for doing it!

 

Hope you can do it as long as you like until it's time to retire!

Thanks for the kind words..sometimes as a teacher you only hear the negative things lol

 

i hope I’m able to as well, it’s beats a desk job. I get to be up on my feet and engage in things I love...and I get to wear shorts or sweatpants every day to work!

[John Hammonds]

Ok, I'll give you a name that's off the beaten path:

Kansas City DE/OLB Dee Ford

10 sacks in 2016, IR in 2017, plus doubts in KC that he should be retained, due to injury and cap dollars.

Just the kind of guy that Ballard seemed to look at last year - someone that has the possibility of high performance, but also risk due to recent injury issues.  Plus, he already knows the guy.

Will he be available?

Coming off a 10 game suspension plus a knee injury? I don't think so.
